Re: Where would you sit?

I wouldnt sit anywhere as I wouldnt go in the first place ...not my kind of "do" to be eating out with a large group of people or strangers....My limit on friends or family meals is about 6 people at a push

Re: Where would you sit?

Wife (ex) and I would usually sit separately, sometimes at opposite ends of the table. Not because we wanted to be apart but that way we could each talk to more people.

Generally though, I won't take a middle seat. This is not because of shyness but to let somebody else be at the centre of the conversation. Usually grab an end or near-to-end seat.

Re: Where would you sit?

On cruise day trips off board the ship I often sit with complete strangers. I actually find the diversity of conversation enjoyable

Re: Where would you sit?

If I'm honest it's not my thing at all dining with total strangers but hubby is quite chatty so I let him do most of the talking.

Re: Where would you sit?

I wouldn't care where I sat as long as the food was good, preferably not on the floor though..

I'd hope there would be room for me on the bench with Tess

Does it matter? It wouldn't bother me where I sat.

No, it doesn't matter, but first to the table you have the choice.

Vaniy, I agree round tables are best but it wouldn't have worked here, not sufficient space!
